I got the 3-5-8 lb set of weights and have been using them to begin strength training. The comments others have made about the plastic rack are true. Don't waste your time putting it together. Any number of people probably want a tidy storage place for everything and the vendor has tried to oblige. In this instance it's just not necessary. The weights are good and I now have them stacked neatly in a living room corner. Stacked together they take up much less space than they did when they were placed in the rack. Besides, as each weight has its own color it's easy to differentiate the 3 from the 5 from the 8-lb weight. They don't need their own special rack "address". And, because of the hexagonal ends they certainly don't roll around. I'm glad to have found this set at a good price and look forward to working my way up to the higher weights.

got a good deal for the dumbells and they are a decent set, the stand is a joke...cheap thin plastic that cracked the 1st time one side was emptied and to much weight for the plastic connectors to take. so now they sit on a wood shelf i built to replace. i would buy for the weights, but expect the stand to break. i wouldn't even mess with putting it together.

Weights are just right for my purpose, well-made and I like the stands small footprint. But the advertised product as being of all steel design is VERY MISLEADING, as the stand is just plastic. Nowhere else in the product description does it advise as to the stands material. With the weights in place, the stand easily wobbles from side-to-side like a San Francisco high-rise in an earthquake. You just need to be careful with the stand. The stand could have been easily made out of a couple pieces of stamped steel with very little extra cost. I checked Amazon and other sites for a similar size and designed steel stand w/o luck.

I purchased the 3-5-8 lb set of weights to use for strength training. The plastic rack is durable and easy to put together with a Philips-head screwdriver (despite previous testimonies - perhaps they have improved it). The weights are good quality, and the hexagonal ends are very useful to prevent them from rolling. The weights arrived well packaged and the manufacturer (JFit) included a note in the package assuring me that if I had any issues with the product that they would be there to take care of it. They provided an email and phone number. I could not be more pleased!

The weights are fine, can't really mess them up but the rack isn't much as far as quality or stability. The rack is thin flexible plastic screwed into plastic spacers which can't handle the screws, ie they strip easily when you assemble. Better use as a template for a wooden replacement rack.

One of the 8 lb dumbbells arrived damaged. The coating is cut and pealing off handle. Trying to find out if I can get replacement for just 8 lb dumbbell or if entire set needs to be returned? Unfortunately there is not an option I can see for this in returns/exchanges. Please see pictures.

After losing 95lbs, I wanted to start adding some occasional strength training workouts. I am a complete newbie when it comes to fitness as most of my exercise has been walking/hiking. I'm not a fan of spending gobs of money at the Gym, especially when there seem to be so many things you can do at home.

These dumbbells are perfect for my workouts. I can see myself buying some heavier ones in the future, but these suit my needs just fine. I have fairly big hands & I didn't find them to be too small at all. They feel nice in your hands & don't slip, even when you get your sweat on. The stand is a little flimsy, but it does the job. I didn't buy the weights for the stand anyway.

The weights arrived in a timely manner & have held up fairly well since my purchase. I'd buy from j/fit again in the future.

This set is good for its price. The rack is easy to assemble, but you'd still need a screw driver or a power drill; a little flimsy but it still holds all three sets, and that's what's important. Make sure that when you load the weights, start from the bottom so it doesn't fall down. For parents who have kids, make sure this is stored in a place where they can't play with it. My almost 2-year old is able to lift both the two-pound weights, but she's still clumsy so when she dropped it, they almost hit her foot.
